Mom's Birthday in Carmel and my first tooth!!

Well, it's been a while since my last post. I have had a little trouble getting my hands on the computer. Todd is still awaiting his work laptop and therefore has been using ours.

My birthday this year was awesome despite a bit of a stink! It started out with Todd cooking me a special birthday dinner, Murphy getting sprayed by a skunk!!, giving Muphy a bath (trying to get the stench out of our house), and then opening presents. The next morning we unexpectedly dropped Murphy off as the kennel (because he still stunk) and made the two hour drive to Carmel, CA. It was not only a beautiful drive but the weather was amazing!!!

We went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium

Ate at Mission Ranch (amazing)

went hiking in Big Sur and Point Lobos

Drove along 17 mile Drive

and Most IMPORTANTLY, stopped at Pebble Beach to enjoy the views and show Harrison the course. Todd said that if he was good that he would take him to Pebble to play when he was 10. I reminded Todd that he did not play Pebble until college graduation. His response was 'double digits baby!!'. So I guess we may be taking a trip for Harrison's 10th birthday - at least it will be the off season:)

Oh, and by the way, we were watching a few guys tee off and saw Chris Harrison (of the Bachelor - Todd's favorite show)!!

What an amazing trip!! It was so nice to get away, relax, and enjoy the beauty of CA!

Once we got back we were all getting sick again. Harrison got a cough and cold and then I did and then Todd did. This round I got knocked out and ended up staying home one day from work while Harrison went to daycare so that I could try and sleep it off. We are all finally feeling better!

And just to celebrate that we are all healthy again, Harrison cut his first tooth! On the bottom right! So cute! (I couldn't quite get the tooth - but I tried). Surprisingly he has not seemed cranky because of it. He is such a good boy and continues to get cuter by the day.

Todd was out of town for three days this week. Typically Todd will go in in the morning and get Harrison up, get him dressed and then pass him off to me. Well the first morning he was gone I did the morning routine and we walked out of Harrison's bedroom and he was looking for Daddy!! Instead he got a little cuddle time with the Murph! He loved it but was so happy when Daddy got home.

Second week of music class and Harrison is loving it!
